Migrating profile(s)
I have tried every method suggested here to migrate my emails and settings to my new computer, but nothing has worked. I tried the export then import path, but just kept getting an error message. Used all the folders just in case I was doing something wrong. So then I found the option of copying the old profile into the new profiles folder - that didn't work either. I just tried again importing from the file I exported, but it doesn't bring in anything at all. I am at a complete loss, I really don't want to lose all this information, which is why I did the export in the beginning.

Not a reply, but more info. I can actually see all my email folders in the backup profile I made, but still can't import the messages, address book or calendar. I keep trying, but always with the same result - nothing
I'm having the same problem. Never had it. Which means i cannot use my new laptop because all my mail and folders are not seen by Thunderbird even though i put it in the right folder on my new laptop. Used the right versions. Etc. Neither can't use my old laptop. I am so upset with thunderbird
